We're looking into additional options.
Couldn't someone set up a small, temporary email server exclusively for the occasional maildrop? Would probably be cheaper than trying to send them all out through a professional datacenter.
This is not a great way to do it unless you are long established. The common mail providers such as gmail, yahoo, etc tend to filter as spam everything that just match the algorithm and doesn't have any trust level. A newly established domain sending out 10k+ emails will be instantly flagged.
